It's Thomas Massie. He voted with Trump 81.5% of the time in 2025, which at first I thought was a lot to be considered a defector. It turns out that's the second lowest in the party and only 20 or so fell below 100% alignment with Trump. That's just the party now, complete fealty our you're out.

He actually has some balls. I don't agree with him most of the time, but he at least has character. If he passes that AIPAC bill it might change geopolitics.
